At Ealing Anchor Foundation, we run play & support sessions for babies and children, up to the age of 5, who have additional needs, a complex need or a disability and who live in the Borough of Ealing. The play and support sessions are held on Tuesday and Friday mornings between 10.30 and 12.15am, during term-time only and siblings are welcome. We meet at Windmill Children's Centre, Greenford and we can provide transport to and from the session for those who need it. The play & support sessions are for parents and carers and their children. We have an experienced Play Leader who organises a structured play session but the sessions are also designed to be a support for parents and carers. We organise speakers and therapists to come to the sessions. Paediatric Speech and Language therapists, Occupational Therapists and clinical psychologists attend each term. We also get a variety of speakers who will discuss various topics including health issues, advice and counselling and representatives from other voluntary organisations. We have the use of a playroom, small outside area use of a sensory room. We also have an online toy library which includes some specialised toys. We have mutli-lingual assistant play leaders and we are helped by some great volunteers. Parents and carers who come are from many different cultural backgrounds but the play leaders and volunteers can help with any language difficulties. The added strength of Ealing Anchor Foundation, is that parents and carers get a great deal of support from each other that is invaluable. In addition we organise Parent/Carer only evening meetings and family trips and parties.
